1.12) Where can I get a copy of the SQL standards?
There are two pertinent standards, SQL92 and SQL99. These standards
are endorsed by ANSI and ISO. A draft of the SQL92 standard is
available at http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/. The SQL99
standard must be purchased from ANSI at http://www.ansi.org/. The main
standards document is ANSI/ISO/IEC 9075-2-1999.
A summary of these standards is at
http://dbs.uni-leipzig.de/en/lokal/standards.pdf and
http://db.konkuk.ac.kr/present/SQL3.pdf.
